Movies that hold cancer stories, are they strong for you to study?
There is a movie coming out called, "My Sister's Keeper" and having gone fought through breast cancer with my wife I find that cancer movies within general are too hard to sit though, but I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. I will probably see the movie and cry my manager off so do you go to or avoid cancer movies?

It really depends on two things 1- if the writing is both good & accurate & 2- if the actors are polite. It's funny but I can sit through a movie where the people go through adjectives kinds of trauma & emotions, but kill the house dog or hurt a child & I can't continue to watch it.That happened next to that recent show "Damages" & I refused to look at it again. Maybe because people know what's going on but with kids & pets, it involves the innocents of the world who stipulation our protection. With cancer stories involving children, same thing. You want a happy ending & sometimes within real life you don't get it. If "House" have a show with a child with cancer though I'll watch because it have both good writing & good actors.

Of course I didn't cry at the bedside while I was a doctor, but those movies, where I'm allowed to cry, remind me of too many authentic people.

It always seemed that the nicest family had the worst diseases.
retired in my 40's and go back to college to become a history teacher.instead.
I would guess that many ethnic group who have lost loved ones to cancers - or may currently be battling a malignancy - would not want to survey these.

I haven't seen a show about cancer since I was diagnosed, I watch soaps and medical dramas though (what is the captivation of medical dramas for for non-medical people?!) and the way they handle cancer stories is abysmal. I realise they own to have drama and can't just be information programmes, but I do think they hold certain responsibilities and not giving misinformation about a disease that many nation fear should be one of those responsibilities.
I don't know if you see Eastenders contained by the US, but does anyone who watches it now remember that Peggy had a mastectomy several years ago? You wouldn't think so to see her flashing her cleavage down the bar - and there was never a re-enactment storyline.
Holby City is a hospital drama, so presumably has medical advisers; and also the actor who plays one of their prevalent characters has famously had breast cancer - but their breast cancer story a few years ago was mortifying.
only time I've cried was at Casualty, when a nurse who had cancer be being 'brave' and cheerful until her visitors left; her sister returned a minute following to find her sitting tearfully with her scarf removed, thin tufts of hair on her realistically shaved head; she wept 'I can't FIGHT this any more!'
I felt as if someone have been spying on me during treatment.
Hope I haven't given the indentation that when I'm not on the computer I'm watching TV...
I can't live my life span avoiding things so yeah, I watch them. And yes I find some phoney! That's because I know what really happens. Hollywood movie makers hold to compress what may take months into about two hours( movie) and six hours ( television series). The solitary one I found hard to watch, because it is filmed contained by a hospital , is Allan King's "Dying at Grace". It was filmed at Scarborough Grace Hospital. The people surrounded by it are NOT actors. They are real cancer patients. All terminal.
I think most inhabitants have a hard time watching movies that hits close to home and involve suffering. However, I think if we could find plenty courage to watch these movies, it could help us in the adjectives. For example, I have an 18 month old daughter. She was born near a complete bilateral cleft lip/palate. Before she was born I was told she had a unilateral cleft lip, but I did a great deal of research and looked at pictures of the very worst cases. It was difficult to see and even more difficult to know that the baby growing inside of me be imperfect. When she was born with a severe bilateral cleft lip/palate I be completely fine with it. I had prepared myself for the worst, so I was thankful with what she had. Had I not confronted my fears I would have be horrified. So I think if we could all force ourselves to watch more movies on the topics that we start, it may put our fears at rest. I plan to watch the Farrah documentary tonight with the hopes that it will help me to infer what my sister is battling and prepare me so that I can help her. She has stage IV breast cancer.
Hi Dave, haven't seen any cancer movies, but a couple of shows I watch has cancer contained by them and they are SO fake it makes me shake my head. My fave soap, Guiding Light, have Reva with breast cancer, just had a tot and had to stay isolated from the baby, please! Gray's Anatomy, Izzy has brain cancer and she's in recent times now lost ALL her hair and she's like on her extermination bed. It's quite unreal and it annoys me. If they're going to do a serious subject, they need to at least take the facts straight.
I just watched the Farrah Fawcett story. So in a state!
